Dear Steve: I would very much appreciate your help with an error which I inadvertently made while using your instructions on how to get rid of the ugly penguin. I got rid of the ugly penguin all right, but I also got a Failed message during boottime concerning a syntax error in unexpected token in line 50 of /etc/rc.d/rc.local/rc3.d/S99local: [sher@adsl-77-232-194 rc3.d]$ cat S99local: I am including it by attachment. I know nothing about programming, but I did try to see some pattern and use my "common sense" to figure this out. Naturally, uninformed "common sense", professionally speaking, isn't worth a hoot. By the way, someone else recommended deleting /etc/issue. I did that but the file ?etc/issue was always recreated just the same. Looking forward to hearing from you.
